Stuard shoots 5-under 65 for early Sony Open lead

Brian Stuard completed his second round in the Sony Open with a hybrid 3-iron into
2 feet for eagle on the par-5 ninth hole for a 5-under-par 65. That gave him a one-shot lead over
Marc Leishman of Australia among those who played early on another gorgeous day in
Honolulu.

Stuard, a 31-year-old from Michigan who is in his third year on the PGA Tour, was at 10-under
130.

•
Joost Luiten of the Netherlands holed out for an albatross on the par-5 10th hole,
helping him shoot a 5-under 67 to share the second-round lead at the Volvo Golf Champions with
Louis Oosthuizen and
Tommy Fleetwood in Durban, South Africa.

Luiten holed his 7-iron from 248 yards for one of the rarest shots in golf, on his way to a
7-under 137 total. There was only one albatross — or double eagle — on the European Tour last
season.

• U.S. Open champion
Justin Rose has mild tendinitis in his right shoulder and will delay the start of
his season. His agent,
Mark Steinberg, said Rose is likely to start his year in February.
